About AppliedVR RelieVRx

RelieVRx is the first FDA-authorized in-home virtual reality treatment clinically proven to deliver significant, lasting reduction of chronic lower back pain. The system consists of an all-in-one head-mounted VR display with integrated software and a Breathing Amplifier device that enables diaphragmatic breathing exercises. Patients complete a 56-session multimodal program featuring daily VR sessions averaging 6 minutes each, addressing the bio-psycho-social aspects of pain through cognitive behavioral therapy, body awareness training, pain distraction techniques, relaxation exercises, and mindfulness practices. The responsive training environments adapt to users' breathing and movement, helping them understand and control their nervous system response to pain without medication.
